Appliqued Tie Onesie Tutorial

Fabric scrap for tie – you could get away with as little as 4″ X 8″ or 5″ X 6″ if you’re cutting the tail piece at an angle.

Wonder Under, same sized as your fabric

Thread

Sewing machine or hand sewing needle

Fuse Wonder Under to wrong side of fabric using the directions on the product. (Already done in picture.)

Print tie pattern and cut out. It prints to scale for me, but for reference…the tail portion measures approximately 5.5″ from top to point and 3″ wide at the widest point and the knot portion measures about 2″ wide at the top and is 1 3/8″ tall in the center.

Trace both pieces onto Wonder Under paper backing. Depending on the print, you may want to rotate one piece 45 degrees (I did this in the example pictured).

Cut out. Remove paper backing.

Line the “knot” piece of the tie up with the neckline of the shirt and center it. I like to slide it under the neckline a tiny bit. You might want to just touch the top of the knot with your iron to keep it from moving but BE SURE not to iron down the bottom edge of the knot.

Slip the “tail” piece of the tie under the knot piece about 1/4″.

Fuse both pieces to the shirt.

In theory, you could stop now because Wonder Under is supposed to be washable. I never dare chance it, though I hear Alissa did once and she lived to tell about it. I sew a straight stitch around the tie, about 1/16″ from the edge, by machine to finish mine. You could zig zag, but I think the straight stitch looks neater. You could hand sew a backstitch as well (I sometimes do this with stuff with sharp turns but this tie is WAY easy to do by machine). Just make sure to keep the rest of the shirt all wadded up so you don’t catch it in your stitching.

If you want to be able to sew the outline in one shot — without stopping and starting or sewing the same line twice — you’ll need to pay close attention to this next part. Start on the left hand side where the knot meets the tail (green dot). Sew straight across the bottom of the knot (1/16″ from the edge of the knot piece, on the knot side so you’re sewing through both tie pieces). Turn and go up the right hand side of the knot then across the neckline edge. Come back down the left hand side of the knot. Pivot at your starting point and continue down the left hand side of the tail. Finish sewing around the edges of the tail. You’ll end on the right hand side where the knot meets the tail (purple dot).

Clear as mud? Leave any questions in the comments and I’ll clarify.

And here is a link to the pdf in Google Docs. I’m hoping that Mac users will be able to print it now.

Hey Char! This is random, but I have a question for you. Where did you get your Fleurville diaper bags? Do you still love them? I’m in need of a good one and wanted your input. Email me ([email protected]) or leave me a comment, PLEASE! Thanks!

Visit aliciakinnephotography.blogspot.com for details. By the way I adore your blog you are a talented gal!! The tie onesie would be be absolutely darling for pics!!

THANK YOU!! As a mom of a house of girls I really struggle making gifts for little boys. I just made this and it was crazy easy and super cute. LOVE IT! Thanks for the fab tute and the perfect PDF pattern. For a second I wished I had a boy to put it on.

Just found your site and so excited to make my son the tie shirt!! So hard to find matching boy-girl outfits so now I can make the tie out of the same material I make my little girls dress. Thanks to your blog I have our christmas card photo idea, yay!!

I am sooo happy I found your site. These are the cutest ever and really simple to make! I am headed to a babyshower tomorrow and I am certain my friend is going to love these for her lil' guy! Thanks!!

I came with the same question as above. I am pretty sure I have this file saved on my pc which got infected with a virus and can't talk to my network so I can't print it out from there. the mac doesn't seem to recognize it as a .pdf.

This idea was AWESOME!! I have several friends and BFFs who will be having babies here shortly and it's a way cute way to make it personal to the friend!! I also used a star shape from Microsoft word to create a different pattern. Turned out way cute!! And for girls, you can totally create things in a heart pattern and flowers!! Thanks again!

glad i found your blog! i have 3 boys & a 4th ont he way. i always see these shirts & think, "i should make one of those…" then, i never do! maybe now is the time! thanks for the tutorial. check out my blog for boy activities. we moms of boys have to help each other out

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this! I had seen a pillowcase dress and tie onesie with Christmas fabrics for sale in an online store, but once I saw the price tag I decided to make them myself. The pillowcase dress I knocked out easily, but the onesie was holding me up – until I found your tutorial!!!

Wonderful … thank you so much!! I made a set for a baby shower recently and they were a hit! Used old t-shirts and too-small onesies to create the ties … learned that knit and wonder-under are not the best combo (hard to separate) but the end result was gratifying. Pic (and link back to you) posted here:

I just made my first tie onesie and it is absolutely adorable! I used my Cricut machine to cut the tie, I noticed one of Cricut cartridges has a tie on it and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the inspiration!

You just saved me sooo much time. I had seen someone with one of these shirts and I wanted to make one for my little man this Easter (as in the day after tomorrow).. I was worried how long it would take me to plan, measure, etc. etc. etc.. but voila, you have a pattern all ready for me!!! And that Wonder Under stuff – I'd never heard of it but my husband's grandma gave me a box of old craft supplies and I believe there's some in there!!! what are the chances?! THANKS A ZILLION!

I’ve never made one for a 2-5 year old. My kids are large and don’t wear onesies one they’re that age. The template size is good for about 3 months to 24 months. For a newborn, I’d cut 1″ off the bottom.

I wanted to say thanks for posting this for everyone to see and have the template! Some crafters in my area have begun making them but sell them for like $10 a Onesie. I just made my son one tonight. He will wear it tomorrow for his 1st birthday when he eats his Smash Cake. Thanks again!

I just stumbled upon your post. I LOVE this onesies and the tip for sewing it all in one go is genius. I’m the world’s worst. I’m self-taught with on a free, usually working machine and I’m always stopping and starting and going over places I’ve stitched already. I may just make one of these for my toddler. So cute!

this just rocked my world. just made 3 for a baby shower this weekend… in less than 30 min. although my iron-sticky stuff says not to sew…. so, i didn’t. hope it sticks!!! thanks for sharing this SWEET freebie.

You are so nice to share this great pattern! I just made it today for my grandson and next I’m making some matching bibs and burp cloths for a gift. Your instructions are great and it was fast to sew, thanks so much!

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really
make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design.
